¿¿Favorite "Adult Beverage"??

[PegLeg45]

Or, in like the great Fred G. Sanford, "I like to mix 'Pink Champale' with 'Ripple'....I call it 'Pink Champipple'".

Don't forget the "Bali-Hi" for a cheap drunk in college (oh yea, and a nasty hang-over!)

And then of course a few years after that.... The Too Much Tequila made its way to me one night. Not being alone in doing this.....  I seemed to lose what teeny amount of inhibitions I had and ran naked through the Hilton's water sprinklers....  *lord have mercy*

Where the hell was I?!?  I don't suppose there are any videos floating around youtube of that little indiiscretion, are there?




















I know, I know...........................corner, here I come.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet, but you can't go wrong with some good ol' WHITE LIGHTNIN'!  Maybe it's a regional thing, but back in the day a good batch of "shine" was hard to beat.  Especially when you load the jar with your choice of fruit.  If you go that route,you don't even need to drink it, just eat a few pieces of fruit and your howling at the moon.     Of course, a little too much and you'll be "barking" at the grass.

Yes you can, very, very, wrong.

I'll side with the revenuers on this one.

There are still a few folks making the stuff in my neck of the woods. But you gotta know them and how they distill the stuff before you drink it. There was one outfit using old car radiators for steam coils (complete with lead-based solder).
If it's done right, it's goooooooood stuff.
If it's done wrong, it'll kill ya.

Right after my wife and I got married, I had a batch that I had made (er, um I know nothing) from blueberries that I got from her father's orchard. dang good stuff.
She threw it out one day because she didn't know what it was (I had it in a mason jar in the back of the fridge).   

I still have not let her forget that one.

Our office manager keeps a mason jar in her office in case of snake bite, zombie attack, rabies, Yankee invasion or something.

It beats drinking Sterno filtered though a loaf of french bread. I worked with a gentleman who drove for the Red Ball Express and that was their drink of choice in 1945.

The only field expediant cocktail I had was grain alcohol and Tang. Once was more than enough.

Sterno filtered through bread??!!! Good God, I like a good buzz as much as the next guy, but yikes! It was like in high school, when the exotic buffo toad gained a foot hold here in Florida. They excrete a neuotoxin from their necks when stressed. It will kill a small dog, but in humans its a hallucionagin. The in thing for 9th graders was to cath one, squeeze, and lick. Me, I've never wanted to get stoned that bad (although if I was driving the Red Ball Express, it might have been a live option).

I actually turned a pressure cooker into a nice little still. Just set it on your stove and you're good to go. Made it where I didn't even ruin the thing so it still works as a normal pressure cooker... The wife was happy about that part.

Made some white lightening a few months back from an old sour mash recipe my grandpa had. Tonsils have healed finally.

(Pretty sure it's still legal to make it for personal use, otherwise disregard what I said.)
